“Learning to sign is quite hard work . . . Don’t worry, said our lovely speech therapist.Watch Something Special on television with her, and you’ll both pick it up in no time.”
“a simply brilliant programme for children with special needs which is presented by the amazingly funny,kind, Makaton-friendly Justin Fletcher. For this programme alone, I would happily quadruple what I pay for our licence fee.” India Knight, Sunday Times May 14 2006
Justin and Mr Tumble are back with 25 new programmes, introducing children to words and simple 3 word phrases using the signing system Makaton.The programmes introduce themes that are relevant to children with special needs and the curriculum. Five of the programmes are aimed at 5-7 year olds with 3 topic based programmes and 2 specifically designed to help develop language.5 new programmes on nursery rhymes aim to give children access to traditional rhymes and songs with Justin teaching 3 or 4 words round the theme, ‘sing a song’ to reinforce the theme.
